IRVING (CBSDFW) - Police have identified a body and arrested two suspects for murder on Friday.
According to police, 30-year-old Oliveros Jama was found suffering from a gunshot wound by a passing motorist just off of Highway 183 in Irving early Friday.

Midlothian Police came into contact with him in the 1000 block of N. Highway 67 as a suspicious person.
After interviewing Tucker and gathering evidence, police charged him with murder and are holding him on a $1 million dollar bond.
Police say 49-year-old Lawrence Ayars was identified as the other person in the car and was arrested by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
Ayars is being held on a $2 million bond.
Detectives are working to determine the motive for the shooting.
